Tennessee Drug Detox Centers

Tennessee is the home to country music and is known for its southern charm and hospitality. However, like much of the rest of the country, state officials and citizens alike are battling the impact of prescription drug abuse in the state. Tennessee ranks eighth in the country when it comes to drug overdose fatalities, with every 16.9 drug overdose incidents out of 100,000 resulting in death.

This rate has more than doubled since 1999, when the rate was 6.1 fatalities out of every 100,000 drug overdose incidents. Many of the drug overdose fatalities were a result of prescription drug abuse.

While no new laws have been implemented yet, state legislators in Tennessee are working toward making changes in order to combat the rise of prescription drug abuse in the state. There are four bills pending between the state House and Senate, all of which deal with managing prescription drug abuse. House Bill 1264 aims to better manage pain clinics as well as create new protocol for prescribing certain controlled substances that may be easy to abuse.

Senate Bill 2221/House Bill 482 requires physicians to check a controlled substance database when a patient experiences a drug overdose. There are several other pending pieces of legislation regarding prescription drug abuse at this time as well.
